FEDERAL COURTS.


The House has passed a bill
amending the law regulating the
removal of causes from State 10
Federal courts. THE bill increases
the minimum jurisdiction Of the
circuit courts from $500 to $1,000,
and takes away from the circuit
courts jurisdiction of causes in
favor of assigneeS of promissOry
notes and bills of exchange, and
restricts to the defendant the right
to remove a cause from the State
to the Federal court.
1t deprives circuit courts of ju.
risdiction of any suit of a civil
nature between a corporation and
citizens of any State in which such
corporation, at the time the cause
of action occurred, may have been
carrying on any business authori.
zed by the law creating 1t, except
in cases under the copyright or
patent laws, and in like cases in
which said courts are authorized
by act to take original cognizance
of suits between citizens of the
same State, and prohibits any such
suits between a corporation aud a
citizen or citizens of a State in
which it may be doing business
being removed into any circuit
court of the State except in like
cases in which such removal is au'
thorized by the foregoing provi'
sions between citizens Of the same
State.

Perhaps the only attempts which
have been made to civllize the
monkey have been in Malabar,
India. A fine species, indigenous
in that quarter, is the neilgherry

In other days the punka-which

English officer conceived the idea
of teaching the laugur to do the
work. He took one of the species
and tied it's hands to the cord
while, by means of another cord,
the machine was kept in notion
The movement of the cord was up

adopted by competent authority,
or as forming a part of its common
law.
The Law of Nations forms a
part Of the law Of every State !;
but in q union like ours, it may be
only Of the United States. An
instance Of the ascendency of the
law was afforded by the doctrines
of the Christians in the early stage
of their existence. That system
had overthrow the mythology of
Rome and enlisted large number
of followers. The community of
all property was one of its tenets.
to which it firmly adhered, and
some of its most revered fathers
and saints openly taught what
communists now assert, "that
property is robbery But the
Roman law rejected this doctrine,
and established IN regard to per-
sonalty very nearly the same prln.
eiple which prevails here now. and
caused the Christians to abandon
the idea. With none is property
now held more sacred.
The triumphs and victories aud
cOnquests of Rome live but in
memory; its vast empire has pas
sed away; the Pantheon is in
ruins, the Forum turned into u
cattle market, the Coliseum bro
ken to pieces. These memorials
aud witnesses Of its greatness and
splendor are in hopeless decay.
But its law, Its code, its institutes
and its pandects have taken deep
| and unshaken root over a large
portion OF the civilized world.
Wherever the Latin race has gone
they carried this law. All conti-
mental Europe acknowledges its
influence. Scotland owns its sway
and England had a large mingling
of it in its laws till the English
Justinian, Edward l., put it aside
for the common law. Yet the En-
glish system Of chancery, as wei
as our own, derived its form, nc
less than its principles, from tn,
civil law; for that, too, had it'
court of chancery, according t
, Gibbon, "to mitigate the harshes

committee stood Z TO 2 against the

by Senators Harris and Brown.
The five Republicans on the com
